AC Power
@erik_squires Aaahhhh I -KNEW IT-!!!  I guess one thing that could also be done is placing it vertically.  In my case, I could easily cut a block of wood to 'fill' the rack ear, and simply mount it vertically OUTSIDE the wood low-boy cabinet the e... 
AC Power
@erik_squires GREAT info, as always!!! The OP mentioned early that he has limited space for additional pieces of kit.  I have a similar issue with space.  The Furman unit you recommended (one you have always stood by and recommened before to other... 
Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers
Oh my gosh I was just thinking about your set up yesterday!  My subwoofer sort of buzzes the floor under it's square feet and I remembered Herbies Dots and thought "I need to just get some fat dots.....oh wait what ever happened to that guy and hi... 
New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer
There was always something about how NOT perfect Katy Lied quality was that I for some reason always liked.  A huge chunk of that is absolutely contextual though: like, in the basement with step dad while working on the wood stove, or building cab... 
Impedance - The most ignored and useful measurement tool
YES @erik_squires !!!!!!!  Been reading thru fathers electronics text books on impedance, and studying in regard to speakers, wire, input/output, etc.  Your post is perfectly timed and really well stated!!!   
Power supply for ethernet switch?
@mclinnguy yea I don't tolerate people coming at me with attitude and talking to me like I said or did something idiotic, like ignorantly ask if an 'audio engineer' is like a "sanitation engineer".   
Does your system "rock"?!?! NO? ADD MORE ROCKS!!
@kerrybh there's another fellow that is VERY into tweakery too: some legit to an extent, some....just....well if it's a fun hobby for him, then cool I guess.  I think there's something about seeing people who expend great time and energy and resou... 
Does your system "rock"?!?! NO? ADD MORE ROCKS!!
@kerrybh I subscribed....how could you NOT?!?!  I wanna see where this all goes man, like, you know at some point essential oils are coming into play!!!

@roxy54 his system is that DAC and a bluetooth JBL party speaker.  Just teasing.  The guy is very passionate.  Gotta give him that!

Just wanted to add to the thoughts of Adcom GFA-555 amps. As stated, they are old, but they can be easily and affordably modernized.  I did exactly this with my old Musical Concepts 555, (dual mono), and it is a world better. I would think for the...

@erik_squires Good point on the jitter.  Always thought this breakdown from an audio engineer was worth knowing on jitter and audibility. https://youtu.be/f_r33B4jptA?si=ThUHNOqAcbyO-LgI  
Power supply for ethernet switch?
Hi @erik_squires !  Thank you!! Appreciate the simple break down!!  Furman seems to be very reputable for solid distribution surge protection devices,  etc, and not any of the "immense sound stage, spicier peppers, brighter light bulbs, wetter wat... 
Power supply for ethernet switch?
@erik_squires Thanks for the power strip recommendation!!!  I was actually just looking into a good/safe one for my system. I'm using a 'good quality' one (basically just solid, all metal, strip) but there's no real surge protection or filtering o... 
Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20
My stepfather has the Focus SE in his system, and absolutely loves them.  He has had Vandersteen 3A and Meadowlark Heron speakers, and these were stand above and vastly outperformed on all levels.  Sound staging and delicate details excel in Legac... 
SVS SUB BETTER WITH LOW PASS FILTER OFF
What @erik_squires said is pretty much dead on: The only heresy I know is trying to do this all without measurements first.  I mean, it's dogma, but I find getting this right by ear alone is so random.  Bloom and bloat IMHO had more to do with ...
